Welcome back to the Zach Nichols podcast. Welcome back to the Zach Nichols podcast. We're here by Weir, I mean myself, the big hot lunch. The big meatball. What's up? And as always our lovely producer, Gabriella. She's in the building. She got the whole first name of the government.

Cheers. Texas season's almost here. That's right. That's right. It's right. It's good to be here, though. It's good to be here on a Thursday. It's always good to be here.

I mean, it's harder on a Monday. It's better out of Thursday. But this last Monday was awesome because we have Lee right here, which is great. I'm like, am I a weirdo for not hating Mondays? Well, the world doesn't know. You start work on Sunday at 3 a.m. So Monday to you is like Tuesday afternoon. Everybody else.

What's your favorite day of the week? For sure, my favorite day of the week actually is Sunday. Sunday. I like to see my family. I like to watch football. I like to Sabbath. I enjoy the Sabbath. When's the last time you went to church?

Hey, man. No, seriously. When's the last time you went to, I guess I was at church. No, no, I was at church two weeks ago. Your niece's baptism. Actually, I was at a wedding before that. No, when's the last thing you went to church that wasn't for an event? For like taking the Eucharist and stuff? Yeah, when's the last time you went to just cleanse your disgusting soul?

Relax. All right. Relax. For those of you don't know. Casting the first stone. For those of you that don't know, Pierre is a worst Catholic than Joe Biden. Go fuck your son. Joe Biden.

I haven't heard that name. Everyone is so excited about him earlier this year. I haven't heard his name in a while. Well, he's Catholic. I don't know. Right. Yeah, right. Well, there's a lot of...

Damnity Catholics in my opinion. They are. Let's start with the Pope. All right, bro. Chill. All right. There's no Pope in the Bible, though. No, there isn't.

But Peter was the first Pope. Was he? He was. I'm not really up to... I was baptized in the Catholic Church as a 34-year-old. Welcome to the family. Amongst in a bunch of other... Babies.

It was me and like 15 toddlers or babies, I guess. Yep. That was embarrassing. Amen. Yeah. Got a. What's your, what's your communion names? So, all right.

So Caldians, we get baptized, confirmed, all that at the same time. But did you pick out a... I was a baby. Oh, you didn't get to pick it out? No, for confirmation. Yeah. Doesn't people have confirmation names? That's a thing in like Eastern right church or Western right churches.

Yeah. It's like a St. Pat's thing. Mine's Bruce. Bruce. Because, you know, Bruce Lee was, he became a saint. I think we did talk about it. In 1996, yeah. Just wanted to keep you updated that I have one of the most badass.

Oh, it's unbelievable. It's a tough name. It sure is. There's not a lot of Bruce's anymore. Oh, it's not. How do you feel about being, you know? The son of Bruce? Yeah.

Sob. Oh, I was like, are we scrapping? Are we fighting? Just call my mama bitch. I sure didn't. No, I said of a Bruce. Son of a Bruce. It was a tough upbringing, but I'm really happy.

One tough SOB, dude. Bruce didn't raise a bitch. You tough SOB. Bruce is a great name. But you know what's one of those names? Bruce Bacall, I might steal that. That sounds great. There's not a lot of bruses.

No, that sounds great. It's like one of those names that are like nowadays, like, if you had a baby and you're like, oh, what's the baby's name? Oh, it's Bruce. People like, what? Yeah. They'll also be like, like, oh, this is baby Joanne. That's my mother-in-law's name. We always make, Jen and I always make fun of her because we're like.

Take a name from the 50s. Yeah, what was the last time he saw a baby Joanne. This is Joanne. What's another one? Like a baby, like what's a grandma's name? What's your grandma's name? Ethel.

Ethel. My grandma's name. Hey, Ethel. Hey, baby Ethel. My grandma's name is, well,

Sabria, like Sabrina without the end. So, Sabria. Yeah. I picked up on that. Yeah. Some people will get right at.

Yeah. But, uh, yeah, so I'm going to convince my imaginary wife to name my second son, Bruce. First son is actually going to be after my dad. And then your dad's going to be.

second one. Good luck, because that's a tough name to sell a woman in this day. How do you feel about the men naming the men and the woman naming the women? Is that ever going to work out? No. No. I didn't name either of my daughters, but I also had Anthony was a fight. Yeah. And it basically was. But like Tony in any Italian family is like, you got to have a Tony. Well, that's my dad's middle name. And so like we were fighting on Anthony's name for a long time. And eventually I was talking to my buddy Brock. And he was like, dude, guys name should. be this hard. He's like just got to have a tough name. Like an easy one, tough one. Like, you don't want to go outside the box on a guy's name, right? Um, so I just was like,

you know what? You're right. That's a great name. As soon as he can talk, I'm taking out the H. H. H. is just going to be Anthony. Hey, Anthony. Get over here, Anthony. Do you know my, both my, both my kids have, um, they have LISPs. Oh, really? Yeah. Jenna had a list, like a child too. Oh, the video of, uh, of Beans with the, oh, yeah. I still watch it every day. Oh, yeah. That's what she does when you ask her if she wants anything she's excited about. That's why I was yelling it yesterday. Every single time anything good happens now.

Yesterday I'm at the golf course. Anytime I pulled past a good shot, I'm like, oh, yeah. Oh, man, she's awesome. She is. She's getting a lot better, too, because she can talk so she can communicate a little bit better. Beating Anthony to the toilet. Yeah, she actually came up to me last night and was like, hey, dad, I got it. Well, she just says poop.

And she actually put her on the toilet and she took a shit. So proud of her. Yeah. And then we're like, hey, Anthony, are you going to do this? She's like, nah, not yet. Straight. Yeah. He's a weirdo.

Yeah. So anyways, the challenge is still going on. It's crazy because we got, we went down to 20 people. Has it felt like half a season already? It's been nine weeks. It's wild. That's how, that's what happens. But it doesn't really get, it doesn't really get sleazy until it gets down.

You know, you got to cut the fat. There wasn't a whole lot of fat. when you have 40, let's say 35-ish legends. Just age. Just cut out the age. Yeah, let's just injure all the old people. Which couldn't be more prophetic or whatever because the, you know, the elder states woman. This is her episode, man.

Oh, yeah. Big Ray Ray. Yeah, dude, she was like, she was like a pig and shit when she won. Like she could barely hold back to smiles, dude. She was so giddy. Yeah. She was fired up. Oh, man.

Well, I, uh, I'm happy for Ryan though. I'm gonna, yeah, oh yeah, definitely. Man's Ryan stayed safe. Yeah, yeah. There was, there was, I was nervous when he even nominated himself. Yeah, he was, I mean, look, he got really lucky. He got really lucky that this is one of those situations where, um, you know, he was going to be safe no matter what. And we got to see the beginning of the breakdown of the vacation alliance.

And for those of you who are wondering, yes, Casey did play. female professional football in case we because we're not going to see her for a while because she retired last night oh she retired yeah she went on tic-tok and said she's done with reality television show she's going to focus on starting a family with my girl nons um but yeah no like if i had to hear that she played female football one more time i probably was going to break a wall i knew she played female football but i didn't know she put the pads on her they tackling in those situations they got to be right i hope so it was legit female No, football, it wasn't like the one where they put on like lingerie.

Laundraiseries. Yeah, for sure. Not that that's not legit. No, it's not legit. Just a different stereotype. Yeah. Different clientele that's watching that. Exactly.

If you want to watch real football with the pads on, which I don't know the, I think it's interesting, but, you know, we know she's not going to. She plays, she played. Yeah. 10 years. Yeah, it's 10 years a long time. You know she beat Fessie in a catching contest on Big Brother too. I remember you told me that.

Better hands. Not than me, though. Definitely not. I would have to say. we should do a pull, but I'm going to take me at receiver over her. Oh, I'm going to take myself over receiver over her. But I'll joke her out her fucking shoes, even with this bad ankle. Whoop, boop, over the right shoulder.

Frile's ankle has been hurt for the last year and a half. No, it's been four weeks. It's been four weeks. Look. High ankle sprained's had him out since 2012. Listen, Cooper Cup went out before me and he's still out. So if I get back before Cooper Cup, I'm good for your fantasy players out there. Shout out to the ZMP Fantasy League.

Everybody in there, we're having a good time. But yeah, I'll be bad. And I could juke her out her fucking shoes. The problem, a one million percent. We'll give her a little shift. And, and with the size, I'm always open against her. She's on my front back hip. Throw it to the back right shoulder.

You got to have a good quarterback then. Throw me the rock. Why's what I do with it? Can you toss it or what? I used to be able to throw really well. We don't ever go out and get a spiral going. I hurt my shoulder a while back and I can't throw anything anymore. I can't even throw a baseball, really.

It's a shame. I used to throw the heat. Well, you're going to have to, Work it out because Anthony's getting big. He's already playing T-ball. He's going to be playing full-on fucking shit. Yeah, I know. I'm going to struggle with that.

You're going to have to work on that. Okay, let's go to the top of this episode. So we come back from the gladiator elimination with Rachel and Corey heading back. They both look like characters from inside out with all that powder on. Yeah, you do. Just read. Yeah. And you know what?

How about my man, Josh? He's the king of the walk of shame. Vote someone in and goes right out to him. He's like, can I have a hug? Putting it word. Yeah. Yeah. Always.

Honestly, it's like I made this reference to Veronica on the last season in terms of her movements and stuff. But in terms of energy, Josh is big telly-tubby energy. Yeah. Yeah. What's that? Yeah, definitely. I just love how it is every single time. Like, I just would.

I feel like sometimes you just don't want to. Like, it's like, oh, let me remind you that I did this to you. I'm sorry. Yeah. The more I bring it up to you, it like desensitizes people immediately. Well, at least he tries. I don't know. Corey didn't seem too, too happy about it.

See, the thing is when you get done, when you win an elimination round, it's like you're elated. It's one of the best rushes of all time. Like, it's better than most drugs, to be honest with you. And so it's really hard to be mad at someone, but in the back of the back of your mind, you're still like, yeah, I'm sure you're real sorry for that. Yeah. And I mean, I feel like the people that put people. in it's like what do you want me to thank you for giving me this moment fuck you i could have been

home yeah it's the it's like a double-edged sword you know what i'm saying but it's also you have to think about it's like also you signed up to play a game you know people are gonna give what it in it's that's what happens you're there that's what you're there to do so the targets going in after the elimination are rachel of course laurel Ryan devon troy casey and kyneland uh yeah they show they show a bunch of people working out you see a viv you see neymaya uh there's There's Ryan with a high fist. Just getting after it. Oh, yeah.

Love seeing that and Devin. Just kicking it in the sheets. They ask him. 15 plus. 15 plus. Does that sound like your days at the challenge house? Because from what I've heard, it's kind of like what you like to do. No, I'm different.

I'm like nocturnal on the challenge. Like so even if we would go out and party, I'd always like put in an hour or two asleep. And then I'd get up because I don't want to be like, first of all, you don't want people to see what you're doing. That concludes the free preview of the Zach Nichols podcast.
